It's hard to believe that today is the last day of 2011. A lot has happened this year...I graduated from college, started my first job, moved in with my boyfriend of nearly 3 years and started this blog! It was an exciting year, but I am willing to bet that 2012 is going to be even better! I can't wait to see what's in store. Cheers to 2012! I hope you ring in the new year in sparkling style with those you love most.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas. This year, I am spending the holidays with my family in beautiful St. Kitts. We arrived yesterday and we are already enjoying the sunshine, and laid back atmosphere of the islands. I do admit, I miss the snow and being with the rest of our relatives, but this trip is already becoming a memorable one :) I may be away from blogging this week, but I can't wait to catch up when I return! Happy Holidays!

One of my favorite things about the holidays is that everything just seems to sparkle. The dresses below are perfect for a Christmas party or to wear while ringing in the new year! You'll shine brighter than any of the holiday decor :)

Don’t you just love blush? Two easy swipes and your face has a beautiful glow. NARS’ latest shade, G-Spot, is a rich, gold-infused rose that is flattering on all skin tones. G-Spot is deeper and sexier than their famous, Orgasm Blush. It’s the perfect shade for fall and winter. G-Spot has been NARS bestseller this holiday season. The new blush also makes a great stocking stuffer!

With holiday party season in full swing, you have to have a handful of dresses that you can quickly throw on and instantly feel glamorous. One of the easiest, and chicest looks is wearing head to toe black. The classic shade is slimming and always stylish. Here are three dresses that I'm absolutely obsessed with- perfect for a holiday party or other special occasions through out the year!

Diane von Furstenberg named her pre-fall 2012 collection “Macadam Diva.” Macadam, the French word for asphalt, suits the collection perfectly as it had a harder look with studs, chains, and zippers. Diane’s signature prints were also paired with the edgier elements.

Maxi skirts are a trend I've been admiring lately, but have hesitant to try. The pictures below have inspired me to purchase a maxi and incorporate it into my wardrobe for the new year! What trends are you looking to try in 2012?
